Hi,
Stelias Computing has made available some code which implements the
beginning of a simulated object based disk and file system using such a
device.
The storage industry is researching such disks which have knowledge not
merely of blocks, but more "at the inode level". Inodes are called
objects.
We built a linux device that turns an disk partition with an ext2 file
system on it into an object device, and we have included the beginnings of
a file system that can at present mount this device and read/modify the
attributes of the root directory.
In case you are interested look at:

The code is GPL'd.
